Bring Your Pet to Work Day made Friday the furriest, cutest and maybe stinkiest day of the year for workplaces. Despite the inevitable, err, accidents, having puppies everywhere is a foolproof way to make every office environment better.
In Mashable's quest to have puppies everywhere, we decided we needed MORE PUPPIES. So the humans over at BarkBox stopped by with three adorable and adoptable mini dogs.
BarkBox co-founders Henrik Werdelin and Carly Strife told Mashable: "Our mantra is 'what would a dog want?'" The boxes come each month stocked with products sourced primarily from local vendors for your best furry friend. So as much as you may like that pink puppy-sized tutu, don't expect to find it in your shipment.
So how exactly can puppies improve your office environment? Top-notch research uncovered the top 12 ways little Fuzz Munchkin can make your 9-to-5 better.
1. Conference calls are 87% cuter (and 40% less boring)
2. Licking and butt sniffing become completely acceptable greetings
3. Paper shredders are no longer necessary
4. It's easy to stay in shape when a puppy steals half your lunch
5. Friday happy hour features meat-flavored beers
6. Closing a big deal only requires treats and belly rubs
7. Farts can always be blamed on the office puppy
8. Cuddle breaks are a lot less awkward
9. Office gossip revolves around who peed on the floor
10. You can reply to all emails with a single 'woof'
11. Plenty of breaks for games, chew toys and face licking
12. Everyone is on the same level (the floor)
In case you've fallen in love with these office pups, the BarkBox puppies (and lots of their friends) are up for adoption Saturday, June 22 at Bark & Co.'s Pup Up Shop in New York City. Check out the site for more information.
